Rationale – Palms | New Music

Rationale unveiled his new single “Palms“, earlier today on Annie Mac’s radio show on BBC Radio 1. The single is set to be released via Warner Bros. and Best Laid Plans Records.

The London-based producer and vocalist has been turning heads ever since his first single “Fast Lane” was released back in April last year. We are guided through this slow-building song by his bewitching baritone and a steady yet nuanced drum beat, all the while being soothed by minimalist strings that transports you into a world of crashing waves and constant sunsets.

As a result the track, with its rich production quality, suggests that a song’s calibre is not dependent on its complexity. It’s this concept that the artist translates onto later tracks such as “Re.Up” and, with a song name like “Palms”, I have little doubt that it will follow a similar, calming current.
